Both vids are totally fun. It’s a little different for Avril, and that’s okay because it really is just a fun song. If you’re a girl chances are you can relate at some point. This song comes off her album Best Damn Thing. This album is full of fun and girl power and personality just like you might expect from Avril. I think the only song so far that I don’t like off the album is “Hot” …. it just feels like a million kinds of wrong. As if someone said, “You have to do this song or else,” It doesn’t fit this CD, it doesn’t fit her style, it just doesn’t fit anywhere.

I’d like to hear a little more kick coming from Avril again, and a little less “hot” … if there was a way to just wipe track 7 off the CD that would be awesome.
This band just suddenly emerged out of nowhere one day. They went from no-name never been heard of to being all over the radio practically overnight. And even if you didn’t like the Handlebars song the first time you heard it, trust me it kind of grows on you. It’s just… fun.
Or you can just grab the whole CD off the shelf like my husband did this weekend. Never send a man to Target to buy soap alone. He comes back with a CD and candy and forgets the soap.
Product Description
Formed as a cohesive alternative organism in 2005, the FLOBOTS `good-fight’ mythology can be traced via Denver’s underground vines and creative community of the late `90s when various members enlivened each others’ gigs and creative events, setting the charge that would eventually power up the band’s contagious and rollicking rock/rap pedigree. Their rousing live show, seasoned by classically trained viola player Mackenzie Robert’s innovative playing, sparked an impressive undertow of across-the-board support (including both coasts and off-the-grid territories such as Nebraska and Utah) as the group honed its glowing activist edge with a refreshingly positive message and bristling musicianship.
The prescient “Handlebars,” currently holding down a coveted `Top request’ slot at several key radio stations as well as being the Most Added at Alternative Radio, has placed FLOBOTS among the most buzzed-about newcomers in rock and rap circles. “‘Handlebars’ was written in the same way the group kind of blossomed,” says Jonny 5. “I had a friend a few years ago who asked me if I ever tried to ride my bike with no handlebars. I hadn’t, so I tried it. Got to thinking about all the other things I could do - we could do. The song came so fast to me I actually called my mom’s answering machine to record the lyrics and make sure I got it all down. Of course it’s also about how even our best intentions are laden with some sort of opposite. We like to think that FLOBOTS are about directing that positive energy into real change.”
It must be Justin Timberlake week inside my head or something. I watched the movie Alpha Dog over the weekend too, where you’ll find him doing a surprisingly good job at acting. I guess acting isn’t that much different than memorizing Insync dance moves, right? Anyhow… this song is stuck in my head so now it can be stuck in your head for awhile too. Enjoy the video and may you find yourself singing “tick tock tick tock” while you’re doing the dishes.
I am really liking this girl’s sound, and it’s not often I like someone that’s floating around the top 10 like this -lol- I’m stubborn about my music sometimes and I don’t always listen to “new” things.
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that i should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
But i don’t want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love

I am again trying to keeping up and remembering to post Music Monday, you know I’d much rather spend all my money on CD’s and iTunes than to buy mortgage life insurance so there will plenty of music to talk about!
You know the crazy ipod touch commercial? I hadn’t heard this song before those commercials, now I can’t escape. It is permanently implanted in my head, I hear it even when it’s not really on! LOL The song of course, Cansei de Ser Sexy Music is My Hot Hot Sex….
Product Description ~ From Brazil, CSS is the first South American band Sub Pop has foisted upon the global marketplace. The title is Portuguese for “Tired Of Being Sexy” and the sound is a thick, pulsating thing full of haphazard synths and a come-on of call and response that tears down any attempt at posturing. It’s equal parts rock mantra and throwback into something new, transcending boundaries of genre and geography. It goes full speed into dance territory, into the unknown and untouched, to emerge all hot and bothered with wild electro-rock. Quick, tightly-wound, unfastened, and supreme.
It’s that crazy sounding 70’s zep rock from days gone past. It’s fun, it sounds good, and it’s the White Stripes. There’s rhyming, there’s rock, there’s soul, I love this band more every time I hear them.
Check out the album by the same name and get it for the music lover on your Christmas List. (In my case that’s my 10 year old …. he asked for White Stripes, Poison, Pink Floyd, and High School Musical …. talk about diverse music selection!)

Today I’m going to feature a favorite album by a favorite band. Green Day ~ Dookie. I love Green Day, and I always have even way back before it was cool to like Green Day. And what’s fun about that is now my kids love Green Day too. Just the other day Dylan asked me if I could put this song on his ipod for him, then he asked me what album it was from because he couldn’t find it. The song was Long View and the album was Dookie.

Parental notice ~ yes, this song has bad words in it and yes I let my 10 year old listen to it. Please don’t throw stones and tomatoes and whatnot at me. He knows the difference between acceptable everyday language and artistic expression. What can I say, he’s a smart kid.
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I’m so damn bored I’m going BLIND!!!
Please note the classic 90’s style happening here, green hair, and Tilt T-shirt. You know you hung out at a Tilt in the 90’s so deal with it. For the record I used to have almost that same sofa that’s in the video ~lol~ and it was highly flammable. Anyhow ….
Or you can just grab the whole CD off the shelf like my husband did this weekend. Never send a man to Target to buy soap alone. He comes back with a CD and candy and forgets the soap.
